# Hero banner

This is a very versatile section which can be used to add a full width image, with optional text and links.&#x20;

This image can be used for anything you like - an image of a product or a collection, a lifestyle image that links to a page with further information about your business and/or product.

### Getting Started

* By default, you will see you predefined list of sections
* To add the `Hero banner` section, scroll to the bottom of the panel and `Add section`

### How do i customise the Hero banner?

#### Block settings

Now we will work on setting up the banner, which is a single block within the section. Here are the changes that we can make.

* We can upload a banner image for desktop screens - we recommend using an image with the specifications of 2200px x 795px .jpg format
* We can also upload a banner image designed for mobile devices - we recommend using an image with the specifications of 800 x 800px .jpg format
* If you decide not to use a mobile image, then the desktop image will be used instead on mobile devices
* Next we can change the Heading, Subheading and Button label text per slide amd also add/change or remove a URL link thats points to any page

Once your happy with changes, click save and your done!
